Summary

Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder is associated with serious problems with cognitive skills, social skills, and functional skills (like employment). There is a new form of cognitive behavioral therapy called integrated cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) that specifically addresses the cognitive, social, and functional deficits of schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. This study compared iCBT to the usual care (UC) that Veteran's receive. The investigators compared iCBT to UC in subjects with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder who are enrolled in a Supported Employment (SE) program, and evaluate whether iCBT is more helpful in improving job attainment, and other areas of functioning, both right after treatment, and 6 months after the end of treatment.
